Oaxacan Dripware Sugar Bowl
A sturdy and appealing little sugar bowl from the city of Oaxaca, Mexico, glazed in the “chorreada” (runny) style: the red-ware pottery is glazed first with a clear glaze then dabbed with colored glazes which are allowed to flow where they may. This lidded bowl is a forest green over cream with dark umber ribbony accents.
Made Mid-twentieth Century, it is in pretty great shape—there are some places where the glazes have firing blips or have chipped off. With its compact size and proportions, it’s a very charming decorative vessel, 5 inches wide including the handles, 3 ½ inches in diameter; the lid is 2 ½ inches in diameter, and 4 inches tall.
